Pieces are all that remain of Buzz One Four, a B-52 bomber, that crashed in a snow storm in Garrett County in 1964.

"The vertical stabilizer sheared off. The aircraft veered over, rolled onto its back and went into a dive and they couldn't bring it back. The pilot ordered a bailout as he radioed to mayday and four of the five crewmen were able to eject. The fifth crewman was not able to and he died in the crash," said John Josselyn, a history buff who knows all about the crash and the crew that was flying the plane.

"While hunting in Western Maryland, I knew that something had happened out there -- no details -- but I found a marker in Poplar Lick, and the marker was to Major Robert L. Payne. He was the navigator, and the marker is where his body was found. This started me on a crusade to look into it and see what really happened and one thing lead to another," Josselyn said.

The plane crashed in a snow storm, and it kept snowing for at least a day after the crash. Of the four people who were able to get out of the plane, only two survived.

"Of the five crewmen, three ultimately perished -- one in the crash, two from exposure and the elements. This was the middle of winter, 11-degree temperatures, blowing snow knee-deep," Josselyn said.

The plane was part of the Strategic Air Command and was carrying two atomic bombs. The bombs were recovered from the crash site.

"They were found intact at the crash site and they were transported from the crash site to the road, I'm told on the front bucket of a front-end loader, loaded on mattresses. From there, they transported them to the Cumberland Airport, and from Cumberland, the Air Force flew them to an undisclosed location," Josselyn said.

Josselyn created a website to honor Buzz One Four and its crew.

"It took a lot of courage and a lot of fortitude, too, and it was very difficult for them, as well as their families. We think the human side of this needs to be remembered," Josselyn said.
